It's correct. I have no idea how you could rattle it off.

"The Rain in Spain."

Ok, here's another triple, and yes, it's a proper triple. As he approaches his 30th birthday (and mandatory death), an out-of-shape man tries to try to win back his ex by running a marathon. Meanwhile, to try to keep him from dying, she's got 20 minutes to get 100,000 Deutschmarks to him. I thought of adding a 4th, but sanity prevented me.

It's "Fame." (In junior high school, we performed both songs you mentioned.) Why was he thinking of "Flashdance"?

It IS "Gigantor." Meanwhile, I thought the clues were too vague to begin with!

This black-and-white cartoon was released in Japan as "Tetsujin 28-go." It was released in the US (and other countries) under at least 1 other name, which is still remembered today in the US. Its black-and-white debut in the US was in 1964 (with the violence edited), and its color debut in the US was in 1993 on the Sci Fi Channel. It was "an animated series about world's mightiest robot." Plans for a live-action feature film, so far, look to remain only plans.

Might have helped to know it was television. (I forget to mention formats also.) "Diagnosis: Murder She Wrote"?

"If I were a rich man"

Seriously-I was right????? *does a search* Apparently I was. Must have been a vague memory that made it to the surface. I ALMOST had the artist's name. (Deniece Williams, whom I thought was "Shaniece Williams.")

I'm not sure it hit exactly what he was asking. If I can try to hit it, here's what I THINK her opinion is like- and she may correct me and disavow it..... She knows how water gets to her faucets, and knows that there's steps involving collection, chlorination and flouridation, transportation, water pressure and so on up to the moment it reaches her spigot and she turns the tap. She takes for granted that there will be water reaching her home whenever she wants. She doesn't think about the steps when she turns the tap. She knows how electricity is generated at power stations of various kinds (with fossil fuels, or hydroelectric, or nuclear, etc). She knows that there's alternating current cables that carry the current from the power station to her home. She takes for granted that the electricity will be there when she turns on the light switch. She doesn't stop each time to consider whether it will or not. PERHAPS that's what she means, but she'll need to say "That's it" or "Not even close" or something like that.

Seriously, this was on a soundtrack? Um, "Footloose?"

Then, of course, that would be "V". The scene I linked to will live in my memory for life. When people are figuring out the "Visitors" are enemies, and stomping on resistance, some youths with spray-paint go to deface posters for the "Visitors. An old man sees them (the character was a Holocaust survivor.) "No! If you're going to do it, do it right. I will show you." He had the child draw a "v" with the paint, over the poster's figure. "You understand? For Victory! Go tell your friends!" THAT was about as memorable an ending as I've ever seen. (IMHO)

"76 Trombones"

"You understand? For VICTORY! Go tell your friends!"

twi used to badmouth insurance as a CONCEPT. They said it was based on bad things happening. Instead of being seen as a hedge against disaster and a sensible precaution (whether or not it's seen as excessive precaution) it was seen as AN IMPEDIMENT TO POSITIVE BELIEVING and A SIGN YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ENOUGH. We were supposed to keep from buying insurance, because POSITIVE BELIEVING was supposed to be our insurance. It wasn't seen as "tempting God" or anything. It all began in Session 1, when vpw talked about the imaginary traveling salesman he'd met and spoken to who had never had any kind of crash, fender-bender, etc, partly because he now understood about POSITIVE BELIEVING. It was supposed to be a coincidence that this meant we had more cash available and could increase tithing, abundant sharing, plurality giving...

Is it something I should tell my friends?

If it's the same movie, apparently it's "The King and I."

I keep picturing the school talent show in "the Addams Family", but I know you're going for something else entirely.

I'm sure it went from "It's God's Will for us to use an 18-wheeler!" to "The revelation has changed."

Taking a guess here... "The French Lieutenant's Woman"?

I figured that responding to your post would be on-topic, if your post was on-topic. If neither was, perhaps we both should be sent to the corner. I actually haven't looked at the initial subject. It didn't interest me then or now. I responded here because I knew the answer off the top of my head. Perhaps I'll actually look into the other thing, but that will take more than just flipping a page. (We want competency here so I won't rush something I personally can't rush.) I'd never even heard the membrane thing when I was in twi. I didn't even hear it in the Advanced class. I'm sure the fools taught something of it, just not to me.

Of course, that's only the view held by young earth Creationists, and most Creationists are old earth Creationists and read that with a different understanding, but who's counting? Certainly the old earth Creationists don't count....

Ok, got one. "COLONEL BOGEY'S MARCH." That's that marching tune that's WHISTLED. In The Breakfast Club, the group whistled the tune early on when bored. Among other movies that used it. However, one movie is so connected with it that some people don't know the correct name for it, and know it by the name of that movie. And it's not a recent film, of course.

Too obvious, since we were discussing it, sorry. Small wonder I confused it for "Some Kind of Wonderful" when Hughes made the latter deliberately like the former, and released it about a year later. 2 similar movies, a year apart, from the same director. Yeah, that's an easy way to mix up movies. No idea about your current movie, but I love the clue.
